Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

"Why aren't you going home so late? What are you hiding here for?" Director Lu looked at Liu Xiaozhen who was walking towards her with her head lowered.

"I'm afraid that if I go out I won't be able to come back in." Liu Xiaozhen said somewhat aggrievedly.

She was also afraid that if she went back she wouldn't be able to get out.

And he got a beating.

This time she sneaked out, she would definitely get a good beating from her family.

In the past, her parents used brooms to beat her, which were easy to break. So her father found an old and hard rattan stick and used it specifically to beat her.

The cane is very easy to use to hit people, and the person being hit feels very painful, but it is not so painful that he cannot get out of bed, but it is painful enough to make him feel worse than death.

Ugh!

Director Lu sighed inwardly.

"Okay, you've been chosen to perform in the show, so go in and spend the night with the sisters," said Director Lu.

When Liu Xiaozhen heard this, her eyes lit up.

"Thank you Director Lu, thank you leaders, I will definitely perform well." Liu Xiaozhen smiled widely and disappeared in a flash.

"Director Lu, Liu Xiaozhen looks much better than in previous years." Su Qin couldn't help but sigh.

She had heard of Liu Xiaozhen a few years ago. Director Lu had tried to help her, but to little avail. The child was beaten even more severely.

Later I heard that in the same brigade, there was an elderly widower whose husband died when she was young, her son died when she was middle-aged, her grandson died when she was old, and both her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law ran away. Later, she fell at home and became paralyzed.

The situation is not good. If no one takes care of him, he may die in a few days.

Director Lu discussed with them and decided to let Liu Xiaozhen, who was only nine years old, take care of the old man.

Although the old man's lower body was paralyzed, his hands could still move and he had a good skill in bamboo weaving, which he could teach Liu Xiaozhen.

In this way, the elderly will have someone to take care of them, and Liu Xiaozhen can also learn a craft so that she will have the skills to support herself when she grows up.

So she asked the team's women's director to talk to the old woman and Liu Xiaozhen's neighbor Aunt Wang.

The old man agreed and taught Liu Xiaozhen all her skills.

Aunt Wang agreed to pretend to accidentally reveal the old man's affairs to Liu Xiaozhen, and asked her to sneak to the old man and ask him to accept her as his disciple. She also told her not to let her family know.

It has been several years since this happened, and they have all forgotten about Liu Xiaozhen.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaozhen appeared again, her eyes full of vitality and desire.

She didn't give up on herself.

Gao You sat in the back seat of Director Lu's car and listened to Liu Xiaozhen's story.

I couldn't help but have an idea.

"Could it be that Liu Xiaozhen is not the biological daughter of the Liu family?" Gao You heard that the Liu family had five or six children, but only Liu Xiaozhen was abused so badly.

Liu Xiaozhen also had a bad reputation in the team. She was lazy and liked to steal things. If anyone's family lost an onion, they would blame it on her.

They also said that she was seducing men at such a young age and had affairs with men from other teams, which was very indecent.

By allowing these rumors to spread everywhere, the Liu family is trying to destroy Liu Xiaozhen from the root.

When everyone heard this, there was silence for a moment.

"It shouldn't be possible. I have a cousin who married into their brigade. I heard that Liu Xiaozhen's mother gave birth to her while collecting firewood in the mountains. Later, she suffered a heavy hemorrhage. The mother and daughter were sent to the county hospital for emergency treatment. It cost a lot of money to save them." Fang Min recalled.

"Could it be possible that he was switched at the hospital?" This plot of the wrong life being switched has been overused in novels.

"If that's the case, it does make sense. Liu Xiaozhen is really pitiful. She has to deal with such a situation." Ye Meijun's aunt is a nurse at the county hospital. She has heard of many bloody and bizarre things. She thinks it is not impossible that Liu Xiaozhen was deliberately replaced.

"I'll go ask my aunt when I get home." The more Ye Meijun thought about it, the more she felt that it was a possibility.

It was just a casual chat, and everyone just listened and didn't take it seriously.

Even if she was really replaced, what could Liu Xiaozhen do?

They don't seem to be able to help with this.

The best they can do is give them a helping hand within the scope of their own abilities, but they cannot save their lives or change their fate.

After Gao You returned to school, he reported what happened during the day to Teacher He and secured the opportunity to rehearse programs during the day and study at night for the next ten days.

What could Teacher He do? The students were too troublesome and the matter was related to the county's New Year's Eve party. She reported it to Director Zhao and the vice principal, and the school agreed.

Students have their own ideals and can pursue them. No one can stop them as long as it does not affect their grades.

So Gao You didn't have breakfast in the morning and hurried to the food factory.

There were some discussions among the classmates, but Gao You didn't care.

When she entered the auditorium, everyone was gathered together eating breakfast.

These female comrades, who were in their twenties and thirties, were still wearing their cotton-padded jackets from yesterday.

It can be seen that most of the cotton-padded clothes have been worn for many years. They are very old and not warm enough.

According to the information, the oldest one was only 36 years old, but everyone looked more than ten years older than their age.

They sat together.

Each person was holding a lunch box in one hand and drinking porridge, while the other was holding a steamed bun in the other hand and eating it.

They looked obviously much more relaxed than yesterday and they would joke from time to time.

Liu Xiaozhen, who was sitting next to her, didn't say a word. She drank the porridge in big gulps and finished a bowl in no time.

When she stood up to get the second bowl, she found Gao You standing at the door.

She paused holding the spoon. Was she eating too much?

"Leader, have you eaten? Do you want to join us? The porridge is very thick!" Liu Xiaozhen called Gao You based on her few memories of the Liu family members entertaining guests at dinner.

The others also looked over when they heard this.

"Okay." Gao You brought a lunch box.

We had already agreed with the food factory before that in addition to providing food and accommodation for the performers, the food factory would also provide three meals a day for them.

"Let me serve it for you!" Liu Xiaozhen used a spoon to scoop from the bottom of the porridge bucket, and finally scooped up a full spoonful of thick white porridge.

This is a new skill Liu Xiaozhen just learned yesterday!

Gao You opened the lunch box and handed it over.

"Hello, leader!" The female comrades greeted him somewhat stiffly.

"I'm in charge of arranging the programs. You can just call me Director Gao." Gao You didn't seem to be deliberately humble and friendly in front of them.

After that, she had to make everyone listen to her commands, otherwise she was too young and her words would easily be looked down upon.

While having breakfast, Fang Min and Liu Tongtong arrived one after another.

Several girls who were notified of their selection yesterday also came, carrying their own luggage, their faces full of excitement and anticipation.

"Those who haven't had breakfast should go and have breakfast. Training will start at 8 o'clock." Gao You reminded them.

At eight o'clock, everyone was present.

"My name is Gao You. I'm the director of the two programs and will be responsible for the subsequent training and rehearsals."

"We are under a tight timeline and have a heavy task. I hope everyone can cooperate as much as they can. I won't be very nice to you. I will scold you when I need to, and I will praise you for doing well."

Gao You stood in front of them, full of imposing aura, completely different from the girl who sat next to Director Lu yesterday and rarely spoke.

Oh, the girl yesterday was also quite tough. She was very good at beating people.

"Please raise your hands if you can memorize the entire script given to you yesterday," said Gao You.

All eight female comrades raised their hands, and Liu Xiaozhen also raised one silently.

Gao You glanced at her.

"I also memorized it when I was helping Sister Qin remember it last night." Liu Xiaozhen said in a low voice.

Okay, this is a kid who lacks social experience, doesn't quite understand the ways of the world, is ignorant about everything, and isn't very good at reading other people's expressions.
